PTT / VOX Operation Question

PTT / VOX Operation Question
The wife and I really use the intercom, we're using the HD provided headsets with mic booms in open face helmets.
The VOX (Voice Activated) worked fine when I was running with the stock mufflers. After doing a stage one and changing the mufflers and trashing the cat on our 2010 Limited, we had to start using the PTT (Press To Talk) buttons because as I'd run through the gears the exhaust would activate the VOX and the exhaust noise would come through the wifes mic.
Lately I've been monitoring channel 19 on the CB, trying to listen up to the truckers to see if there are any speed traps or traffic jams out in front of us.
You have the 3 screens, music, intercom, and CB on the stereo.
I know if I'm on the CB page and press the PTT it transmits out over the CB. But, If I'm the music page, or the intercom page and I press the PTT to talk to the wife does it also transmit out over the CB?
The intercom and the PTT work for talking to the wife, but how do I know that I'm NOT transmitting out over the CB? Any ideas, suggestions?

On my '09 UC, the CB has an ON/OFF selection. I think that any time the CB is ON and you hit the PTT switch, you are transmiting, regardless of which "page" is showing on your screen. The VOX is adjustable thru the radio controls and can also be desensitized by using a thicker or more dense mic covering.

Depends on what headset you have. J & M has a replacement set pictured below. Might check with IMC Moto to see what they offer.

If the wind stock doesn't solve your problem consider the J&M headset. They are more noise canceling than the HD headsets.
